As of commit aa8fee415f46 ("ARM: dts: sun8i: h3: Split out non-SoC-specific parts of Bananapi M2 Plus") in the Linux kernel, the device tree for the Bananapi M2+ has been split into a common dtsi file, and an SoC-specific board device tree file that includes both the shared dtsi file and the soc dtsi file. This was done to support both the H3 and H5 variants of the same board. This is similar to what was done for the Libre Computer ALL-H3-CC in U-boot commit d7b17f1c24af ("sunxi: Split out common board design for ALL-H3-CC device tree").
The newly split files are directly synced from Linux tag v5.0-rc1.
Based on my previous patch comment, I expected to have full sync with all H3 related files. any plan?
Weren't you dismissing the idea because of "past the MW"?
So coming back to that discussion, I was wondering how DT *updates* are actually a new feature (from a U-Boot perspective)? Actually I see a lot of warnings from dtc about various things in our older .dts's, which spoils buildman runs. From this point of view updating the DTs is a mere fix (as they remove these warnings). So would you be willing to push for DT updates for this U-Boot release still, if I can show that U-Boot is not affected by the DT updates? Stuff like adding audio DT nodes have actually zero risk of affecting U-Boot ;-)
